HAVE WE SEEN THE LAST CHENEY RUNNING FOR OFFICE? YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY PUBLIC MINDED. I think they would all be great--and I'm including my granddaughters and my grandson. It's hard to know where his inclination is. He's 16 months...
Reporter Judith Miller is set to meet again with prosecutors to discuss notes from a conversation with Cheney aide I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby that turned up after her Sept. 30 testimony. Meanwhile, lawyers for possible indictment targets are boning up on the Espionage Act, used to charge Daniel Ellsberg, leaker of the Pentagon papers, say people close to the probe.

The party's base of conservative supporters was already disillusioned because of the administration's record spending, and a hard-core pick might have rallied them ahead of next year's midterm elections. Instead, a conservative backlash built against Bush's choice all day, and Vice President Cheney phoned in to Rush Limbaugh's radio show to try to reassure the faithful. Limbaugh's first question pointed to "a lot of concern" among Bush supporters, and said there was "disappointment out there" and that some of his backers felt "depressed," "let down," and "a little worn out having...
